Last Lecture — Unexpected Journeys

Wednesday, April 14, 1 to 4 p.m., online

Remember being asked the question “where do you see yourself in five years?” For most of us, life rarely turns out as planned and for these professors, this rings true. Everyone is welcome to join the virtual format as professors and instructors reflect and impart their lessons in life and academia for the 2021 Last Lecture Event. Five of the U of L’s brightest minds will share their Unexpected Journeys, including alum Jason Schilling (BFA/BEd '94) as master of ceremonies, followed by Yvonne Tiger, Dr. Katharina Stevens (philosophy), Brendan Cummins (BA '16, MA '18) (School of Liberal Education), Dr. Steven Mosimann (chemistry & biochemistry) and Dr. Louise Barrett (psychology). More details are available on the Notice Board and you can add the event to your calendar.
